Site gives this fish as Macrophtalmus...is it possible to be an aimara???

Thanks
 
It was originally described in 1846 as Aimara then redescribed in 1907. Some work was done that suggested that the two fish were Identical so the oldername takes presedence.

Just to confuse matters further Curupira is sometimes sold as Macrophtalmus.
